Why is this important?
Both employers and students want the match to be ideal and the work experience to be mutually beneficial. In some circumstances, it may be advantageous to hire a student who has never worked for your company; a diverse work history can help students develop a wide variety of skills and better prepare them for the transition to the labour market after graduation.
Tips:
1. Consider hiring students who have worked for you in the past on an unsubsidized basis and let them train the new employees you have hired under the SEED program. A student who has worked for your organization in the past will make an excellent mentor for the subsidized students you hire. This will also increase your pool of qualified employees for future positions.
2. When you have made a hiring decision, make sure you connect with the Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour central office to immediately confirm the student placement. You can contact them at
3. Magnet. The province of New Brunswick has just introduced a recruitment tool to help you to find the right talent to
